Can someone give me an idiot's guide to downloading from a newsgroup. I don't even know how to access them. >embarrassed<
I am honestly tearing up.
"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Glad you decided to do this Ady. Can't wait!
A Goon in a Gaggle of 'em
This is an excellent piece of news. I'll put the popcorn on.
Awesome! Thanks for putting this together man! =D

Woo hoo.
This is very nice. I was just wondering....Since I have no grasp of the whole newsgroup thing (nor the desire to get to know it); Is it possible for you to put this up at fanedit.info (or the preserve.co.cc) for regular downloading??
Someone will probably upload it elsewhere at some point. t__p_____x is a good bet.
That shot of Cloud City where Leia is in the window... wow what a difference. Awesome.
Since this will apparently be the last version from Ady with blue-ties, I second the motion for "BT, MU, and RS uploads soon, pretty please." ;)

I wasn't gonna say anything, but yeah, him. ;)

So . . . essentially this is like the 'Classic Edition', except of much higher quality?
Ocp's Classic Edition did not have any colour-correction applied to the video from the 2004 DVD. I can't comment on the quality, but there were apparantly some issues with his ANH Classic Edition.
PaulisDead2221's Vintage Edit did alter the 2004 colouring, using a histogram technique to match the GOUT colour. It'll be interesting to see how Ady's approach compares.

This is from Ocp's CE, you will notice on DV the blacks are patchy and grainy.
Yes, that is typical of the issues with his ANH Classic Editon V2. But did his ESB CE have the same issues?

I've come to the conclusion that Ady must have cloned himself, can anyone else explain his prolific output?
I'm wondering if its a DVD-5 or -9. I'm going to try to grab it as soon as it comes out, but I'm not sure this Giganews trial will hold up!

Thanks for this, I look forward to grabbing it.
So the audio, is it as ripped straight from the GOUT DVD, or did you encode the LD PCM to AC3 for your version?
You don't care about the audio Moth3r... You have too old ears ! Remember ?
:)
I remember saying something along those lines in a private message. (How would you like it if I posted your private message to me for public consumption? You know, the one where you said that TV's Frink's mother was a hamster and his father smelled of elderberries?)
Anyhow, the reason I asked about the audio is that some have reported that the audio on the GOUT DVD is lacking in dynamic range when compared to the laserdisc PCM, so I wondered which source was used for Ady's release.

Ady, when you have time, I hope you can you share some of the challenges of this project. Like maybe what was nearly impossible, what was easier than you thought, if you used any obscure sources, etc. I love that kind of stuff.
You know of the rebellion against the Empire?
I can't wait to see how many "mistakes" he put back in, if any. For example, the snowspeeder that never flies through the ATAT explosion.

Ooh, this sounds interesting! I'd sure hate to be that Frink guy.

Come on, a blink through the crowd remains private, as long as it doesn't make a fuss !
There's no quote and besides I can't remember what you said exactly through PM, so who will ?... Now if you remember my pm back, it was most sincere !
Apologies though.

I've updated the first post with the new audio information

Question: is this synched to the GOUT? It would be cool for the user to be able to add/substitute GOUT-synched audio for personal use, but I suppose that's a minor point in the scheme of things.
You should be able to sync GOUT audio by adding a delay at the beginning. I'm not sure what the delay would be though.

Like i said it isn't 100% accurate in that small things like that would have been put back to how they were originally, but i did re-flip things like the rank badges at the end
